The newly rebranded IPL franchise, Punjab Kings (PBKS) will also continue to have the services of KL Rahul as a leader of the group. Ever since Rahul has handled the captaincy reins of the team, PBKS has done invariably well.

Although the team has been in topsy turvy situations most of the time, Rahul has honed the skills to lead the bunch of guys comfortably.

Moreover, he has been one of the most successful batsmen in the recent past. He has always remained the top scorer for his franchise and also a couple of times lead the over run-getters chart.

In the IPL 2020, Rahul topped the run-getters chart with over 600 runs in 14 league stages games. He is also one of the top scorers in the first half of the IPL 2021.
